Director Park Nuri, who won the 40th Golden Shooting Award for Best New Director for "Money" with the trustworthy production team that directed the Disney+ original series "The Worst Evil" from major domestic genre films such as "New World", "Asura", and "Hunt".



Cho Woo-jin explained the character by saying, "(Kang Dong-woo is) a detective who has been demoted to Gangnam and is trying to solve the case, but is rather caught up in a whirlpool." I tried to play a friendly and affectionate character because the director said, "'I want to make it feel like the man next door, who will protect me firmly next to me.'"," he said.

I also tried to make an external change. Cho Woo-jin started increasing because he wanted the honesty of "Kang Dong-woo" to be seen outwardly as well. I've reached my highest weight since my third year of high school, and I think I'll show you a lot of things that I haven't seen in my previous work" he said.
